SUMMARY *

Civil Rights

In an action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging that a police officer used unreasonable deadly force when he shot and killed Albert Dorsey during a failed arrest in the men’s locker room of a gym, a majority of the panel sua sponte granted a petition for panel rehearing; denied as moot a petition for rehearing en banc; and ordered that the opinion and dissent filed on December 30, 2022, be withdrawn and that the case be resubmitted.
